I haven't done the experiment, but my gut feeling is that the difference
you mention will not cause problems.
As a related point, anyone using the recipes in Harlowe's Antibodies: A
Laboratory Manual should check the numbers; there are several typos in
them. I can't remember the details, but the recipe for SDS-PAGE running
buffer may have been one of the ones that's wrong, and at least one of the
acrylamide gel concentrations is wrong.
I used wrong recipes a couple of times (and not to point the finger at
Harlowe, some of the mistakes were my own) before spotting the mistakes
and re-checking all the numbers, and still got adequate, if unspectacular,
gels. The system is robust enough to tolerate some leeway.
